History[edit]
Previously, Crimean Tatar TV channel ATR and radio station Meydan worked on the peninsula, which were deprived of their license by the new administration after the annexation of Crimea by Russia.[4] On August 10, 2015, Roskomnadzor registered the Millet TV channel and the radio station Vatan Sedasy.[5]
